The stars, but they become the gray wind

Note 1: Initially, the LRASM anti-ship missile included two plans, one of which was the subsonic stealth version of LRASM (i.e. LRASM-A) that we see now, and the other was the supersonic version of LRASM (i.e. LRASM-B). However, due to considerations such as R&D costs and technology, the supersonic version of LRASM-B was later shelved.

Chapter 22: The Smoky Steam World: The 20th chapter layout was messed up, so I revised it.

Chapter 23 The next target, Europe!

"So, when you found yourself in a picky mood regarding air defense systems, you decided to take them all?

"Uh... that's not the case. I just want a foolproof, watertight air defense system."

“可是……你这防空系统未免也太花里胡哨了点吧？毛子的安泰-2500防空导弹、S500/400防空系统、阿美利卡LRASM长程反舰导弹，PLA的红旗9和1130近防炮，不知道的还以为你这是什么上三常联军防空呢？????”

Carlisle counted on her fingers the top three active air defense systems that Aze had designed when he was designing the airport's air defense, just like naming a menu.

"But, as far as the results are concerned, I did create a multi-layered, three-dimensional air defense circle that can be considered foolproof, right?"

Aze felt quite accomplished about this and appeared very confident when answering Carlisle.

"But... seriously... if a normal army developed weapons and equipment the way we do, their logistics would have collapsed long ago. Even different equipment isn't produced using the same standards. If we weren't using nanomachines, which can almost perfectly adapt to a variety of equipment with different principles and production standards, their logistics would have collapsed on the spot."

"If we were to form an army primarily composed of human soldiers and officers with the weaponry we currently use, I don't think this army would even need to be attacked. It would disintegrate on the spot due to the overly complex logistics."

Yuuki, who had just returned from the underground cave in the center of the island to check on the progress of Kalisi and Aze's work, made the above evaluation of the amazing multi-layered three-dimensional hybrid air defense system designed by Aze.

www.53dushu.com

"It's indeed a watertight air defense, but the equipment is a bit overstitched."

"I think it's appropriate to call this the United Nations Joint Air Defense System."

Yuuki and I examined this bizarre, patchwork design that could never have appeared in our original world."

Renlong jokingly gave it a new name, Bawulin Jiusanliu.

After being baptized by the overly shocking stitched-together air defense system, Aze proposed to have several unmanned 055 shield ships to further increase the range of the active maritime defense circle within thousands of kilometers around the island. After a brief discussion, Erlin Wanling Jiuliujiu and others quickly passed Aze's proposal.

As for the reason...it was actually because of a news report from a drone far away in Europe that the third prince of the Kingdom of Albion, who was still on his way back home, was planning a series of assassinations and attacks after returning home, as well as a plan to use the military power in his hands to carry out a large-scale military coup.

This also forced everyone to speed up the construction of ocean-going naval projection capabilities and quickly build a deterrent maritime force that could deter all military powers in the world, including the Kingdom and the Republic.

A certain third prince was secretly mobilizing several of his armies in the New World, intending to eliminate all rivals through a series of assassinations and terrorist attacks against other heirs to power upon his return. He then planned to use these troops, secretly transferred from the New World, to launch a military coup and secure supreme power for himself. To ensure he didn't miss out on intervening in and observing such a crucial historical event, everyone decided to accelerate their own progress.

In just four days, a huge drone and weapons production factory was built in the underground cave in the center of the island. With the start-up of the nano-automatic printing production line in the factory, Calisi entered the corresponding data of the two main drones and several other weapons and equipment currently needed into the factory's AI control center interface, and then pressed the confirmation button on the manufacturing task list.

【Production list confirmed, started reading, confirmed.】

【确认为MQ101总计500架、ADF-11F总计1500架、球型多用途隐身无人机总计800架、空空、空地及反舰等各型导弹总计20万枚、各VII拔舞是镏疤弃VII君羊型号重型轰炸机总计200架、大中小各级运输机总计500架。】

Feeling the factory she was in start to run at full power, a smile appeared on Carlisle's face.

Countless nanomaterials are put into the production line in the factory and sprayed onto the already complete fuselage frame on the production line like high-speed 3D printing, and are quickly formed and completed. With the roar of the factory, one combat drone after another quickly rolls off the production line and becomes part of the battle sequence.

"The feeling of releasing long-accumulated power all at once by unleashing countless war machines is indeed addictive in a sense."

A happy Kalisi exclaimed with a look of delight.

"Then... next, let's get ready to start a "war" that belongs to all of us!"

As the P1112 Hundred-Handed Giant and P1113 and P1114 at the harbor berth slowly left their sea berths and moved towards the take-off taxiway not far away, several spherical drones were hovering in the air, and all the cameras and sensors on board were aimed at the Hundred-Handed Giant and its escort fleet on the sea.

P1112 and its escort aircraft quickly took their positions in several parallel taxiing takeoff waterways that were far apart from each other. The artificial intelligence centers on several air traffic control aircraft started the last self-check of each system before the first takeoff. After the self-check was completed, the central AI confirmed that there was no abnormality in the hull and immediately started the several deuterium-deuterium reactors on the ship. All equipment on the entire ship began to be rapidly activated. The huge nozzles distributed on both wings ejected a narrow plasma tail flame at the moment of startup. The huge fuselage began to move forward slowly under the propulsion of the engine. As the fuselage glided on the water surface, its speed continued to increase. Due to the huge lift generated by the air during high-speed gliding, the giant ship began to gradually leave the sea surface. The huge air fortress with a wingspan of more than 900 meters slowly left the sea surface and rushed towards the vast blue sky where it was destined.

Its next destination is Europe, thousands of miles away.

Chapter 24 A small discussion on the road

At an altitude of 18000 meters above the Pacific Ocean, a hundred-armed giant with a wingspan of 963 meters and thousands of escorting ADF-11F fighter jets easily tore through the thick clouds in the atmosphere at a speed of 700 kilometers per hour. The largest air force in the history of the planet is crossing the Pacific Ocean and heading towards the British Isles in Europe.

Calisi and Yuuki sat on the steps outside the P1112 Hundred-Armed Titan Internal Combat Information Center (CIC) and chatted relaxedly. After everyone's discussion, it was decided that Calisi and Yuuki, who was the most stable of all, would go out together to contact the humans in this world, while Renlong and Aze would stay at the Taylor Island base to continue to improve the island's industry and infrastructure.

According to the plan, the Hundred-Handed Giant Fleet would carry the two to the British Isles. Next, they would board a vertical take-off and landing dual-purpose shuttle with optical invisibility, find a secret landing location on the British Isles, and head to a nearby city. They would then try to register a company or some other organization in this world as a disguised entity, facilitating their future activities within this world, such as contacting the spy team centered around the Princess of the Kingdom of Albion...

This is also the reason why Yuki came with Kalisi. As the most stable person among the group, Yuki knew very well that if this matter was handed over to people like Kalisi or Aze, who often come up with some wild ideas and even have the creativity to think of things at random, there would definitely be big mistakes in the process, not to mention the results. That's why Yuki went to Europe with Kalisi. When it comes to communicating with people, Yuki is still very confident in himself.

The ferry carrying the Duke of Arkham, the third prince of the Kingdom of Albion, would arrive on the British Isles in approximately three days. Calisi and Yuuki would capitalize on this time difference, preparing suitable identities for their respective forces within the Kingdom and the Republic, and looking for opportunities to contact the team of beautiful female spies surrounding Ange and Princess Charlotte.

"So, how about we go to the Duke of Arkham's homecoming parade in three days and watch the Third Prince stage a Kennedy-style assassination?"

"It's a shame, though. The entire assassination was a self-directed farce. Furthermore, it's unlikely that the ambitious Third Prince would follow Kennedy's example and commit suicide on the spot."

"Rather than Kennedy being assassinated, it's more like the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. After all, it's only 1902, isn't it?"

Yuki used nanomachines to print out a cup of milk tea, inserted a straw, put it to his mouth and took a sip, then frowned.

"Tsk...I accidentally put too much sugar in it."

"At least even if it was a self-directed farce to cover up the real purpose of attempting a military coup, this kind of thing is actually quite common in history, isn't it?"

"Indeed, at least he didn't do it in some powder keg area, like the Balkans. If he had done it in that place, we might have seen a steampunk version of World War I."

Calisi used nanomachines to synthesize a large box of steaming French fries, pulled out the longest one, put it into her mouth and began to chew it vigorously. In between bites, she commented on this.

"However, establishing a military dictatorship by killing all rival successors and carrying out a military coup will not reverse the decades-long division between the Kingdom and the Republic, nor will it improve the Kingdom's dire economic situation, the recurring capitalist revolutions, and the numerous movements launched by workers facing harsh working conditions. On the contrary, military dictatorship will only further exacerbate the already fractured relationship between the two sides."

"So, although I have no intention of interfering in each other's internal political affairs, I do not mind helping and protecting two princesses who are dedicated to improving the current situation in both countries."

"And I do admire the two people's desire to bridge the divide between the two countries and break down the wall. I don't intend to interfere too much, but if they take the initiative to ask me for help, I will definitely not sit idly by."

Upon hearing this, Yuuki turned to look at Kalisi in surprise and said, "So, you're planning on making friends with them? I thought you'd just throw your entire fleet into the faces of both the Kingdom and the Republic without a second thought."

"Actually, I really like the idealistic ideas of these two princesses. I hate seeing idealists' hopes dashed."

"In my opinion, they are undoubtedly good people, so good people shouldn't be pointed at guns. So next, I will try to make friends with the two princesses and the beautiful girl spy team. If necessary, I can also provide some help secretly."

"I didn't realize you were actually quite kind. I always thought you, as a Paradox player, were some kind of Chaos Evil type who really loves to stir up trouble."

Yuki gently put down the milk tea cup in his right hand, and his evaluation of the moral level of this guy, Kalishi, suddenly reached a new level.

"I don't think so. Although Paradox players are generally very evil, they are not heartless wooden men."

"They can slaughter an entire planet without blinking an eye, yet they can risk everything for a nameless NPC they don't even know, but who has a very interesting story. In a sense, this is the nature of the Fourth Scourge, isn't it?"

"Indeed, since these two idealistic princesses want to break down the physical wall and the wall in people's minds, let's give them a hand.

Chapter 25: Flying to London

After a twelve-hour flight, the Hundred-Armed Giant formation, consisting of four air fortresses and thousands of escort fighters, arrived at the strait separating the main body of the European continent from the British Isles: the English Channel. In order to prevent being discovered by any eyes from the ground and the air, the entire air formation maintained an altitude of nearly 19000 meters. With the cover of clouds, it broke through the English Channel and began to penetrate into the interior of the British Isles. At this time, the air fortresses and all the escort fighters, which were the core force of the entire air formation, also turned on their own high-power radars and began to operate at full power to monitor any air warships of the kingdom or republic that might approach and discover the existence of the formation.

"A Raven's radar on the outskirts of the formation detected a small aerial warship 379 kilometers away, at an altitude of approximately 2,000 meters. After comparing it with the intelligence collected by the drone, it was confirmed to be a light aerial warship used for national patrols by the Kingdom. The current threat to us is extremely low."

Sitting in front of a holographic display in the CIC (Combat Information Center), Kalisi reported to Yuuki the intelligence and data collected by the formation radar.

"So, next, have you thought about what to do first after you go down?" Yuki played with a ballpoint pen in his right hand, looking at Carlisle who looked thoughtful.

"Before we set off, I placed a manned multi-purpose vertical take-off and landing shuttle in the hangar. It's based on the same technology and principles as the spherical drone. We'll take that down first, then go to the Kingdom or Republic's corporate registration department to register a shell company as a cover for our operation."

Then, before we go to Arkham where the assassination of Duke Arkham takes place, we should contact the protagonists of the beautiful spy team in advance and try to make friends with them. If possible, it would be best to gain their trust. In this way, when they are in desperate situations, we can take the initiative to extend an olive branch, and over time, they will naturally trust us.

"I think with your unreliable interpersonal skills...why not, I should do this."

"I can't guarantee that we'll become their most trusted friend, but I can at least guarantee that they'll voluntarily cooperate with us on an equal footing."

"Alright, then I'll give you the chance to get in touch with the main characters of that beautiful spy group. I won't mess around for now."

"I didn't say you couldn't come along. I'll handle the heavy lifting and communication with the two princesses and the spies. You can just watch from Bian Ling's side. Maybe we can become each other's most trusted friends by then."

"However, before that, we have to go to the Kingdom Enterprise Registration Management Department and get us a better-looking identity."

"By the way, have you decided on a name for this company that will serve as our external front?"

"Well, considering what we're going to do next and in the future, I think the name Atlas might be a good fit for our behavior."

"Let me ask you this first. You're not planning to cosplay Ains and set up some giant Anzstan-style corporate regime, are you?"

The name that Yuuki gave to Kaleesi, which has countless complaints, reminds people of something very cyberpunk.

"Don't worry, we're not like Ains. We don't have the idea of ​​controlling the world and establishing a giant corporate regime."

"Besides, since we plan to set up an external sockpuppet organization, a colonial development company under the guise of developing overseas colonies is the most suitable choice."

Carlisle stood up, stretched, and said, "We're almost there. It's time to go to the hangar. Let's go."

The two took the elevator to the helicopter pad in the upper hangar. There was a helicopter pad that was completely white, with a fully transparent spherical cockpit, Y-shaped folding landing gear, and two spherical anti-gravity thrusters and rectangular rudders extending from both sides that could rotate 360 ​​degrees axially. There was also a tail rotor structure like a helicopter at the tail. The spherical fully transparent cockpit made of transparent aluminum was armed with four plasma cannons distributed above and below.

"So this is the aerospace shuttle you mentioned that was stored in the hangar before departure? Is this the anti-gravity attack helicopter from the Forsaken?"

“Well, I have to say, this type of aircraft is indeed very beautiful, and it has a very simple technical beauty.

"I also added an optical stealth system to it. Combined with its already superior maneuverability and endurance, as well as its vertical take-off and landing capabilities, it's more than enough for our upcoming operations on the British Isles."

"Well, it's really beautiful and practical, but I don't know if we can drive it well."

"Although Miss Cabot gave us the piloting skills directly from the database, we have no experience in operating a proper manned aircraft."

"Don't worry, even though this is my first time flying one, there won't be any problems. If anything goes wrong, I can just switch to the aircraft's built-in autopilot mode."

As Carlisle spoke, she walked over to the aircraft, opened the door on one side of the cockpit, and sat in the driver's seat.

Carlisle turned around and waved to Yuuki who was still outside.

"Alright, don't hesitate! Yuuki, get on board! Have some confidence in my driving skills!"

"Alas... I really can't do anything with you, so I'll just trust you this time."

Yuki approached the aircraft, opened the door on the co-pilot side, sat down, fastened his seat belt, and locked the door.

Seeing that Yuki was already seated beside her, Carlisle closed the hatch on the driver's side and started the helicopter's anti-gravity engine. The holographic display interface of the aircraft was projected onto the cockpit glass in front of the two of them.

"Open the outer door of the helicopter hangar."

Kalisi gave orders to the Hundred-Armed Giant.

The huge door of the helicopter hangar located in the upper rear area of ​​P1112 slowly rose. The strong airflow generated by the Hundred-Armed Giant's high-speed flight quickly rushed into the hangar, and the originally comfortable temperature in the hangar dropped rapidly. However, the two people sitting in the closed cockpit of the anti-gravity helicopter did not feel any change in the temperature of the cockpit.

Carlisle adjusted the right joystick, and the spherical anti-gravity engines on both sides turned their nozzles downward. The outer spoilers suddenly opened as the blue tail flames ejected from the engines. The helicopter's landing gear slowly left the hangar floor, and then the Y-shaped landing gear folded backwards and was stored. The aircraft also flew out of the hangar as the angle of the anti-gravity thrusters was adjusted.

What met the eyes of the two people in the cockpit was a clear blue sky and white clouds, as well as five huge air fortresses above the clouds and thousands of densely packed ADF-11F fighter jets flying in formation around them.

"Although I've already seen it once during takeoff, I still have to say it's a truly spectacular sight."

Carlisle sighed as she watched a squadron of Raven fighter jets flying in neat formation not far from the anti-gravity helicopter.

"Open the terrain scan map and let's go to London." Yuki, sitting in the co-pilot seat, turned on the navigation system and planned a direct air route to London.

"Okay, next, let's test the cruising performance of the 陾傘lingsi 撮奇傘四 aircraft."

Kalisi pushed the joystick, and the output of the two anti-gravity engines suddenly increased. The aircraft instantly produced a small sonic boom cloud, drew a graceful arc in the air, and broke away from the flying aviation formation, flying rapidly towards London.

"Why didn't you blame Ling Wusan for not going slower at the start? Why did you suddenly have to go all the way?"

Yuuki complained about the sudden push on his back caused by the acceleration.

"Sorry, the instantaneous acceleration of this aircraft feels a bit better than I imagined."

"Then at least be steady." Yuki rolled his eyes in the passenger seat.

"I'm going to show you some special moves, so hold on tight!"

"Hey!!! You guys!!! Can you please drive more steadily?"

"Steady!!! Steady!!!"

As Carlisle pushed the joystick horizontally, the anti-gravity helicopter performed a series of flips and rolls, leaving a double-helix tail in the sky, and then made a high-speed dive almost vertically.

"Sure enough, I shouldn't have let you drive!!!!!"

Yuki, who was sitting in the passenger seat with a pale face, screamed.

Nine other eight wives one

At the same time, in an aristocratic academy in London, the capital of the Kingdom of Albion, a girl with smooth blonde hair was sitting in the garden with a few friends, drinking afternoon tea. Looking at the girl with glasses who had the same face as her across the table, the blonde princess smiled gently.

Charlotte, Ange and the others, who were enjoying a peaceful afternoon tea, were unaware that in a few days, an assassination case that would shock the Kingdom and the Republic, and two people who would forever change the fate of this spy team, were heading towards them like a tsunami.
